Windows 10 Font folder displaying as files instead of fonts
I do not know why but opening C:\Windows\Fonts leads to this view:
when I know I should be getting this:
Is there something wrong with my Windows 10 install? I just did a fresh installation yesterday.
The folder has either lost its desktop.ini
file or the folder's ReadOnly
attribute has been cleared, which means its desktop.ini
file won't be processed.
- Open the
C:\Windows
folder in aDetails
view. - Add the
Attributes
column. - Verify that an
R
is displayed for theFonts
folder.
If it's not set, open a PowerShell window to C:\WIndows
and execute the command:
(gi Fonts).Attributes += 'ReadOnly'
If that doesn't fix the issue, check the contents of the desktop.ini
file:
- In the PowerShell window, execute the follwoing:
notepad c:\Windows\Fonts\desktop.ini
The contents should be as follows:
If the file doesn't exist, create it. Set its attributes to Hidden
and System
:
PowerShell:
@'
[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID={BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}
'@ | sc c:\Windows\Fonts\desktop.ini -Force
(gi c:\Windows\Fonts\desktop.ini).Attributes += 'System'
(gi c:\Windows\Fonts\desktop.ini).Attributes += 'Hidden'
Just change the icon size from drop down menu at bottom right from small to large.
